Depends on what else is in your car, (or out of it) but usually a small whine can be heard with the helical, but you can still talk with normal voice levels to each other.

Mine is full trim, with three fuel pumps and can just be heard with the radio off. Fuel pumps draw more "whats that noise?" from passengers than the box.

If you wont fly down, i might have to drive up!

Tom,

If we can get a good idea from Sime's car then it might be a waste of time flying down there to see the same box?

My mind is made up, it's just the other the sphincter of the universes now.

Got one?

Not yet ..will probably be on the cards soon enough though.I can't see the stock box liking similar power levels to your car and surviving long :laugh:

My brother has a PPG dog box in his car ..makes a normal synchro box seem sooo bloody slow.

sorry mate..not following ?

Are you organising a group buy or something.

wouldn't say a "group buy" as such, but there will be a few of us from Sydney buying a product from PPG in the next few months. I'm going helical dog, Joey is undecided.

I'll give you a call and chat to you about it?

I'm going to have to hold off a while longer on the box .. Still need to spend cash elsewhere first unfortunately .

yeah no need to see the same thing twice!

get them all on the same set as you paul and everyone will be big winners!

I'm doing my best, Tommy Turtle! Joey is definitely undecided. It all depends on Sime1's car!

Paul I spoke too tom he said he no someone called Paul that was going to fly down to ppg to test his car out. I gather that's you? give me like a week or so and I'll come pick you up in my car see for your self

Yeah mate. That's me.

That would be fantastic. Can't wait to see this bad boy!

    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
